Moqueca De Camarao Recipe Video

This video was part of our music series. Steve Himmelstein and his Brazillian band were guests on our show. So I decided to cook Brazilian food. I found this recipe and bought Brazilian dende oil from a shop online. Then I performed a reall no-no of cooking shows. Yes, this was the first time I cooked this popular Brazilian dish with a cheat sheet behind my burner. Luckily, it was delicious. When you cook for yourself you can Save Money, Eat Healthier, Live Greener and Have Fun!
